**Sunday Vinyl Service: Our Freedom — The Sound of Standing Up** Tonight, Sunday Vinyl Service is a night about freedom, and the records that carry it. Join wax. and Nido in Amsterdam Oost for a warm evening of rare vinyl, deep listening, drinks and community as the sun goes down. This edition, Our Freedom: The Sound of Standing Up, is about the songs people fought for, marched to, mourned with, and danced to when dancing itself was an act of freedom. Our guest is DJ Amir, straight out of Brooklyn, New York. One half of the legendary digging duo Kon & Amir and founder of 180 Proof Records, keeper of Detroit's Strata catalogue, he has spent his life tracing how music travels across generations and how a local sound becomes a force that moves the whole world. He'll be spinning a three-hour set built around freedom, resistance and liberation. The timing means something. Right after the Fourth of July, and 250 years of American independence, we ask what freedom really sounds like. From American independence to the civil rights movement, and the sound born from that struggle, blues, jazz, soul, funk, gospel and hip hop, that crossed every border and changed how the whole world moves and feels. Some records aren't just records. They're proof that people were here, that they resisted, and that they survived. Come listen, meet people, have a drink, and stay late with us. **What to expect** 19:00 — Doors, drinks, arrival 19:30 — Opening records, deep listening 20:30 — DJ Amir: soul, funk, jazz and the roots of freedom in sound 21:30 — Three hours of music tracing liberation across generations 22:30 — Final records, conversation, late evening atmosphere 23:00 — Close **What to bring** You don't need to bring anything except yourself. Come alone or bring a friend. This is a welcoming, community-first gathering for music lovers, culture lovers, record collectors, dancers, creatives, and anyone curious to hear something meaningful. **Good to know** Free entry. RSVP to reserve your place. Drinks are available at the bar. This is a respectful listening and social space. Please come with good energy, look after the space, and be open to meeting new people. **Location** Nido, Amsterdam Oost Linnaeusstraat 2C, 1092 CK Amsterdam Oost RSVP on Luma: [https://luma.com/d8yw62jr](https://luma.com/d8yw62jr) Prefer Partiful?

Let's grab some coffee/food and share a morning chat! The East Market has an ample parking lot and outdoor and indoor seating. Grab a cup of coffee from Winston's Coffee & Waffles or on your way to East Market and meet us on the second floor - table behind or east of the elevator. Per what this group is about: "Everyone is welcome! International transplants to Columbus who want to improve language skills, Columbus residents who enjoy talking to people from other countries, and those who would like to discuss international travel and culture, and who enjoy getting together for good conversations."

This is an in-person meeting. Did you know that unwanted emotions like loneliness, sadness, hopelessness, anger, fear, anxiety, or feelings of irritation don’t just fall on you for no reason. They are not random occurrences that simply happen to people's minds. They are definitely not chemical imbalance in your brain due to some nebulous chemical reactions by chance. Your negative emotions are the symptoms of the painful experiences that you have which are not healed, and which are still affecting you. The effects of these painful experiences are exacerbated by the pressures or difficulties of the other problems in your life. For instance, let's say you are already carrying a huge load on your back, then you cannot take on much more, but, let's say something else happens to you, such as the difficulties from the Pandemic, then the resultant combined weight on you can take you over the edge, kind of like the straw that break the camel's back. When this happens, people's attention usually goes to the straw that was added, but actually the majority of the weight had come from the huge load that were already there, holding a person down and causing a person issues. So how do you remove the huge load that was already there? How do you lighten them up? Is it possible to get rid of them? That is what this meeting will be all about. Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life. Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there. This group is created by the Dianetics and Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.

Monthly working lunch for Columbus business owners. One specific topic, one to three actions you can run this week. You can be the best at what you do and still be invisible. If local buyers cannot find you, the phone does not ring. Marketing Monday Lunch + Learn is a monthly working lunch for Columbus business owners focused on building relationships, local networking, and local marketing. Every kind of local business welcome. No pitch round, no pressure, no upsell. **This month** Most local businesses pick one or two places to be visible and call it good. The result is inconsistent calls and a feeling that marketing is not working. We will walk through the three places every local business needs to show up, plus the fourth place most owners ignore that quietly produces the warmest leads. **What to expect** Doors open at noon. Order lunch and drinks at the cafe counter or bring your own. You get real conversation with other local owners and a focused marketing lesson. You leave knowing people and with one to three actions to run that week. The room is reserved through 1:30 PM. **Who this is for** Any local business owner who wants clearer marketing direction and real local relationships. Service businesses, retail, home services, professional services, online owners building local presence, anyone serious about being part of the Columbus business community. **Not the right fit if** You are here to pitch the room or recruit for an MLM. **Details** * Second Monday of every month * 12:00 to 1:30 PM * Good Cafe Easton, 4400 Easton Commons, Ste 150, Columbus, OH 43219 * Order lunch and drinks at the counter when you arrive * Free to attend, RSVP required, space is limited **About the host** Rita Suzanne is a local marketing strategist and the founder of Local Marketing Method.
